  Andrea Gabrieli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The uncle of the somewhat more famous Giovanni Gabrieli, he was the first internationally renowned member of the Venetian School of composers, and was extremely influential in spreading the Venetian style in Italy as well as in Germany.
Gabrieli was a prolific and versatile composer, and wrote a large amount of music, including sacred and secular vocal music, music for mixed groups of voices and instruments, and purely instrumental music, much of it for the huge, resonant space of St. Mark's.
Once Gabrieli was working at St. Mark's, he began to turn away from the Franco-Flemish contrapuntal style which had dominated the music of the 16th century, instead exploiting the sonorous grandeur of mixed instrumental and vocal groups playing antiphonally in the great cathedral.

Gabrieli's scholarly interests were divided between Arabic literature and the history of Islam.
As a historian of Arabic literature, Gabrieli firmly adhered to the path of idealistic aesthetics as traced by Benedetto Croce; on several occasions he explicitly, and sometimes polemically, stated the right of Western scholars to examine and judge Arabic literature according to universal aesthetic criteria.
Gabrieli wished to make the products of his scholarship available to the general public, thereby contributing to a wider knowledge of the Islamic world among laymen.

 Sleeve Notes - Andrea Gabrieli: Missa Pater Peccavi
In his Grove article on the Gabrielis the late Denis Arnold points out that, although the Venetian printing trade was flourishing, Andrea seems to have been reluctant to publish his work, and consequently much of his music cannot be precisely dated.
Gabrieli does not in fact reduce the number of parts for the 'Christe' or 'Pleni sunt coeli', but he does use smaller contrasted groupings of three or four voices for certain phrases, sowing the seeds, as it were, for the tonal contrasts and conversational responses that would later lead to the Venetian polychoral style.
Though Andrea Gabrieli's works for instrumental ensemble are few in number and modest in scale, they are as masterly as his vocal music and have much in common with the more familiar language of Giovanni's canzonas and sonatas.
